Personality theories and health

Personality theories are theories that shines the light on an individual's uniqueness, the internal processes which are cognitive and motivational and that have an influence on how people behave.

People have their own ways of response when they are facing the same kind of health issue. We need to acknowledge the influence of personality on health, but we also need to shy away from the idea usages of personalities as determinants and descriptions in psychology and produce theoretical templates.

Right now, the way in which personality and health are being looked at only focuses on isolated aspects of the relationship. In order to fully understand the relationship, it is better to focus on the entire illness process.
